@501stLegiqn art isn't something that time erodes. that's why classical music that's hundreds of years old is still relevant & good. & modern artist study art from hundreds of years ago.
@ManlyBadassHero my big 3 is touhou, braid, & cave story.
but thinking about it, i having a big 3 is not enough to give proper respect to the numerous indie games that shaped the scene or had some lasting inspiration/impact. so therell always bee disagreements in any big 3 conversations
@lerripunc@Curitiba_Fodase@MrsWednesdays@PurifierLe @hitoshura7 @_ELstudios_@KaratekidV it's not tho, im not discrediting cave story.
im saying in this discussion braid was mainstream before cave story was. braid got game awards for best game(not even just best indie game) in 2008. cave story was huge in indiegame spaces but didnt get on a mainline console til 2010
@lerripunc@Curitiba_Fodase@MrsWednesdays@PurifierLe @hitoshura7 @_ELstudios_@KaratekidV there are plenty of indie games that existed beefore it, & if we're talking influential braid had mainstream popularity beefore cave story did. i played braid on xbox 360 in 2008 but cave story was finally added to a big console (wii) in 2010.
@Nath979Magill@TheJoshMan07 the problem im seeing w/ this is the big indie games shouldnt just bee whats viral currently. it should bee iconic games that defined indie game space as we know it. quote should definitely replace shantae, & maybee tim from braid replaces sans lol
@Panic_Ky@JowaPlaysStuff@_ELstudios_ could bee confirmation bias of the gen z-ers ive seen, but it's also anime ranking videos, what ppl are talking about, what ppl are agreeing with. i feel like this conversation about touhou beeing iconic, is 1:1 my experience talking about the big 3 anime w/ gen z & now gen a
@DongoBongo19@TheJoshMan07 the oop topic is big 3 indie games. idc who does & doesnt know the game. im explaining why touhou is an iconic indie game to ppl that are unaware. like a grunge music fan that doesnt know who black sabbath is.
